George Minot (1885-1950), American physician and hematologist (a blood specialist), who won the 1934 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for his contribution to the development of an effective therapy for pernicious anemia.
By studying blood samples under a microscope, Minot observed that young red blood cells, known as reticulocytes, seemed to thrive in the blood of anemic patients during the periods when their anemia was in remission.
In 1925, Minot and Murphy began experiments in which they fed liver—as much as a half a pound a day—to patients with pernicious anemia.
